Most Haunted

The Fremantle Arts Centre is an historic landmark building in Fremantle, Western Australia. It was built using convict labour between 1861 and 1868 as a psychiatric hospital, initially called the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum, and later known as the Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

The imposing building on the 2.4 hectares (5.9 acres) site overlooks the harbour city and was the largest public building constructed by convicts in the State after the Fremantle Prison which had been built in the 1850s. The design, in colonial gothic style was by Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Edmund Henderson, the Comptroller-General of Convicts in Western Australia.

The building is reputed to be haunted by several ghosts from its lunatic asylum days. There are said to be at least 10 spirits lurking within the grounds.
One of these is said to be a former female inmate who became deranged with grief after her daughter was abducted. She is believed to have jumped to her death from a first floor window. The woman's ghost has apparently been seen throughout the building while she searches for her daughter. Due to the countless spiritual encounters, the Fremantle Arts Centre is known as the most haunted building in the Southern Hemisphere.
